It looks like Wethepeople has decided to brighten up their Patrol frames with two new colors, chrome and metallic red. Specs and everything else remain the same as before.

Deluxe’s PA Model, S&M’s Credence frames, United’s T.R.U, Mutiny’s Villij, FBM’s Steadfast, etc… But what per se is it exactly that makes them trails frames? Geometry was the first thing that popped into my head, but as I really thought about it I came to…
